ARTAS Patient Motion Tracking and Compensation
One question that both physicians and prospective patients ask is how the ARTAS robot tracks patient motion during the FUE extraction process. Here’s a detailed explanation. If you have any questions please feel free to post them, and I will do my best to respond in a timely fashion.

Interesting presentation. Thanks for posting it. I have a question. What happens if the person sneezes or coughs hard once the robot is already in motion? Is it possible for the robot to miss under those circumstances?

Once contact is made with the skin, then it locks pretty good with the tissue. If the motion is in the absolute last micro-second, but just before it makes contact with the skin then it does miss which doesnt mean anything bad happened i.e it doesnt go to deep or anything like that since other features prevent that. This is pretty rare though.
Thanks Dr. Rashid!
